Main Responsibilities

Provide antenna technical support to ESA projects. This includes “in-house” design and tradeoff studies to support both developments and reviews. Tasks will require the analysis and design of reflector antennas and arrays and the calculation of the interference effects between antennas and the spacecraft structure;
Providing expert technical support and consultancy to ESA projects,
programmes and general studies in the field of space antenna systems,
submillimeter wave instruments and associated technologies throughout
all project phases;
Participating in project reviews and performing “in-house” design and
trade-offs to support project-specific technology developments; Identifying critical development problems and assisting in their resolution;
Knowledge of antenna testing processes and control software design for
antenna measurement systems.
